Hilsea Lido is more than a pool; it is a unique community space with history and heart at the centre of Portsmouth. As a hub for local people, it supports both mental and physical wellbeing through open-water swimming, family activities and welcoming social spaces. Visitors can also enjoy food, drink and events throughout the year.
Proud to support the Pride of Portsmouth trail, Hilsea Lido celebrates the spirit, resilience and heritage of the city as it reopens as a valued community destination for everyone, bringing people together to relax, connect and stay active in a historic setting by the water.
